Presents a quantitative analysis of occlusive peripheral arterial disease by a non-intrusive ultrasonic technique. Materials and methods used for quantitative comparison between patients of their arterial pathway capabilities; Results which indicate that the greater the damping of the velocity pulse and the longer the transit time between sites, the greater the degree of obstruction to the circulation; Advantages of this technique of analysis in the collection of clinical information about the state of the arterial vasculature.
